$150 may make up for a lifetime of not paying.

    It’s fascinating to me that people prefer shitty nagware over 7-zip only because they think they’re “getting one over” by not paying for inferior software and/or feel nostalgic for it.

      I feel nostalgic for WinRAR and I don’t need or want the fucking bag. Fucking.rar was the first file extension I remember learning at like 6yo that wasn’t something dumb like .txt .jpg .doc .ppt .exe

          For a good while, the UI in 7-Zip was so atrocious merely extracting an existing archive was not obvious. It definitely improved over that.

          I’d argue that even today, WinRAR UI is more intuitive than 7-Zip, but it is largely irrelevant since both have decent integration with windows file explorer anyway, which was also something 7-Zip lacked for a while.

        I hate having to find my key when I get a new computer. I know there are alternatives but I paid for it, I want it.
